Running economy (RE) has a strong relationship with running performance, and modifiable
running biomechanics are a determining factor of RE. The purposes of this review were to …

Although the role of shoe constructions on running injury and performance has been widely
investigated, systematic reviews on the shoe construction effects on running biomechanics …

INTRODUCTION: Most running-related injuries are believed to be caused by abrupt
changes in training load, compounded by biomechanical movement patterns. Wearable …

Background Recent interest in barefoot running has led to the development of minimalist
running shoes that are popular in distance runners. A careful transition to these shoes has …

The current study aimed to comparatively examine the effects of minimalist, maximalist, and
conventional footwear on the loads experienced by the patellofemoral joint during running …

Shoe manufacturers launch running shoes with increased (eg, maximalists) or decreased
(eg, minimalists) midsole thickness and claim that they may prevent running injury. Previous …

A new model of running shoes which features an extreme cushioning and an oversized
midsole, known as the maximalist (MAX) was launched. This design claims to provide …

Effects of Footwear and Fatigue on Running Economy and Biomechanics in Trail Runners …

Introduction The outcome of the effects of transitioning to minimalist running shoes is a topic
of interest for runners and scientists. However, few studies have investigated the longer term …

The current investigation examined the effects of minimalist, maximalist and conventional
footwear on skeletal accelerations and shock attenuation during running. Ten male runners …
